well, honestly it is not that bad. we didn't have a good experience with movers. granted, it meant less work and no knuckles getting slammed into doorways while lugging furniture around. but it was really strange to have someone else's hands all over our stuff with no regard. i quit watching when i saw them heave our new suede couch into the truck and then flip it so it was standing on its armrest, and scoot it to the back.
one of the movers had a horrible attitude! what did he think he was going to do when he got to work that day, bake cookies? take a nap? you work for a moving company! so in order to speed up the process, brandt jumped in and helped with the loading. (i gave them gatorade, that counts right? even if it was the gross lemon-lime pee flavor.) however, the movers were getting grumpier so brandt finally just stopped them and was like, lets just go. so off they went to the new house, where i was waiting, along with our mini-zoo.
once there, it was just easier to tell them to put everything in the front room, aka future game room, since we have no furniture for it yet. my labels that i made and stuck all over my boxes were in vain i guess, b/c they didn't seem to show any interest in sorting my boxes out by room and delivering them there for me. *sigh*
once again, brandt was there helping unload and got them out of there super quickly. left behind for us to move: our big boxy tv's, (our bank account hasn't let us convert to the light flat screens yet), the elliptical, the Christmas tree, and several other less bulky items.
so here's what we were up against:
here's the view when standing on a chair!
good thing we don't have cable yet...
we aren't going to have free time for awhile!
